What is the eRA Commons verification process change?
The original verification process required that both the Authorized Organization Representative/Signing Official (AOR/SO) and the Project Director/ Principal Investigator (PD/PI) access the electronic grant application in the eRA Commons, check it for completeness and verify it via a checkbox to complete the submission. Effective May 10, 2006 and beyond, the verification step will be replaced with a two day period for checking the assembled application in eRA Commons. Unless explicitly rejected by the AOR/SO, the submission process will be complete after two days and the application will automatically move forward to the Division of Receipt and Referral, Center for Scientific Review.
